Put 3–4 empty bowls or muffin-tin wells on a tray. Put a bowl of Cheerios (or raisins, crackers) at one end of the table.
Pick up the bowl of Cheerios. Walk it to the tray. Pour a few into each small bowl. Done.
Careful pouring. Counting (in 3+ kids). "Delivering" the snacks to stuffed animals. Sometimes the snacks get eaten, sometimes they make many round trips first.
Use tongs to transfer instead of pouring. Make a "delivery list" — three for bear, two for dog. Use a real toy truck if you have one.
